“THE ART OF WAR” – The strategy of chaos

by Manlio Dinucci

VOLTAIRE NETWORK | ROME (ITALY) | 20 NOVEMBER 2015

Flags fly at half-mast in NATO countries for “France’s 9/11,” while President Obama announces to the media: “We will provide you accurate information about who is responsible.”

They needn’t wait. It is already clear.

The umpteenth massacre of innocents was caused by the series of geopolitical cluster bombs, detonated according to a precise strategy.

It has been put into play since the U.S. won the confrontation with the Soviet Union and appointed itself “the only state with truly global strength, reach and influence in every dimension — political, economic and military” proposing to “deter those powers that might seek regional dominance – Western Europe, East Asia, the former Soviet Union and Southwest Asia – whose resources would be sufficient to generate global power.”

To this end the U.S. has refocused its strategy since 1991 and, in agreement with the European powers, that of NATO. Since then they have disintegrated or demolished by war (open and covert), one after another, the states considered an obstacle to the plan of global domination; these include Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine and others – while still others (including Iran) are being targeted.

These wars, which have claimed millions of victims, have disrupted whole societies, creating a huge mass of desperate people, whose frustration and rebellion lead on the one hand to a real resistance, but on the other hand are being exploited by the CIA and other intelligence services (including French ones) to ensnare fighters in a “jihad,” which in fact suits the strategy of U.S./NATO. This led to the formation of a shadow army, made up of (often competing) Islamic groups used to undermine the Libyan state from within while NATO attacked it, and then for a similar operation in Syria and Iraq. From all this ISIS was born, in which “foreign fighters” came together with agents of the secret services, and which has received billions of dollars and modern weapons from Saudi Arabia and other Arab monarchies, allied with the U.S. and particularly with France.

This strategy is nothing new: some 35 years ago, to bring down the Soviet Union in the “Afghan trap,” tens of thousands of mujahadin were recruited by the CIA from over 40 countries. Among them was the rich Saudi citizen named Osama bin Laden, who arrived in Afghanistan with 4,000 men, the same person who after he founded Al Qaeda turned into “enemy number one” of the United States.

Washington is no sorcerer’s apprentice, unable to control the forces it set in motion. It is the driving force of a strategy that destroys entire states, causing a chaotic chain reaction of division and conflict to be used according to the old method of “divide and rule.”

The terrorist attack in Paris, performed by an unskilled laborer convinced to strike a blow against the hated West, occurred with perfect timing just as Russia, intervening militarily, had blocked the U.S./ NATO plan to destroy the Syrian state and announced military countermeasures to the growing expansion of NATO to the East.

The terrorist attack, by creating a climate of siege in Europe, “justifies” an accelerated military buildup of the NATO European countries, which includes increasing their defense spending as requested by the U.S., and opens the way for other wars under U.S. command. France, which so far “had been bombing inside Syria only sparingly” against Isis, as the New York Times writes, “bombed the Syrian city of Raqqa on Sunday night [Nov. 15], its most aggressive strike against the Islamic State group” hitting targets described by the United States. Among these, U.S. officials specify, are “some clinics and a museum.”

New World Order Agenda: Obama’s Reckless Roadmap to World War III?

In the last couple years US-NATO forces have intentionally pursued anaggressive path with a current trajectory leading humanity straight intoWorld War III. In contrast to the West’s overt warmongering transgressions, the political, economic and military forces of the East in Russia and China have exercised far more prudent, defensive posturing that has demonstrated remarkable restraint, thus saving us from a potential nuclear war.

This presentation will lay bare the tendencies displayed by the actions of a handful of neocons in Washington carrying out marching orders issued by the ruling elite whose New World Order agenda for over a century has been a one world government.

Fearing wrath from a fast growing population of world citizens actively opposing the elite’s diabolical agenda, 2015 has seen the globalists fast tracking their orchestrated world catastrophes, i.e., the convergence of unprecedented global terrorism designed to act as the incendiary device used to ignite the so called East versus West world war accompanied by the complete collapse of their bankrupted, house of cards, debt-based economy and the rapid global breakdown of civil order.

Through their proven divide and conquer formula, the global elite intends to bring to fruition its one world government fully implemented by 2016. And at the escalating pace fueling today’s most disturbing world events erupting at near daily frequency, unless we citizen-activists of the world finally raise up in solidarity to stop this process, 2016 may well go down in history as the year they ultimately achieve their fully operational one world government.

The twentieth century has been called America’s century representing the apex of American Empire rule over the planet, culminating with the cold war breakup and defeat of the Soviet Empire, and the US claiming exclusive title as sole global superpower, wielding its full spectrum dominance and hegemonic control over every corner of the globe. But the neocons whose careers rapidly advanced under the Reagan-Bush senior regime, spearheaded by the likes of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz as the Dr. Frankensteins of US neocon foreign policy was unabashedly spelled out in their ambitious take-over-the-world Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

In the wake of the Cold War, the PNAC came up with the 9/11 blueprint of a “new Pearl Harbor,” spawning their long war on terror against Muslim extremists as their newly designated enemy.

In the first 15 years of this century, the elite’s agenda to destabilize, impoverish and increase totalitarian control over the planet has advanced at breakneck speed. Having hijacked virtually every national government in the West, if the elite’s international crime cabal has its way, the twenty-first century will have to be remembered as the century that ushered in a barbaric age of New World Order tyranny.

Though the neocons’ foreign policy of constant regime change around the globe (7) would not be achieved within their overly optimistic 5-year vision vis-à-vis Syria and Iran, their endless war on terror would be fully actualized in spades during the century’s first decade with two costly protracted invasion-occupations changing how America fights its wars while using the central banking cabal’s unlimited fiat dollars to obliterate nation after nation with the killing power of the US military as overreaching global empire conquerors.

The exponential rise of the military industrial complex and deep state totalitarianism fueled by thecancerous growth of Homeland Security, FEMA, UN and private civilian contracting armies sucking the cash funded by the no bid contracts of corrupt crony capitalists is the driving force behind an unsustainable, insurmountable national debt at taxpayer expense and middle class demise. But the ruling elite in 2015 has never been more blatant in its power grabbing and the global population more in peril because of it.

And with NATO member Turkey shooting down a Russian jet near the Turkish border in Syria last week, the stakes of a global war have never been higher. How did we get here to this brink of self-annihilation? A timeline roadmap of the last two years graphically illustrates just how deadly and reckless a course the US Empire of Chaos has been blundering, now seemingly driving humanity right off the doomsday cliff.

August 2013 Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria

Obama instantly blamed Assad for a horrific chemical weapons attack on a Damascus suburb launched by US-backed terrorists. The president used this false flag operation to justify would-be airstrikes on Syria. Complete with photos of the children’s corpses, Obama self-righteously exalted his infamous red line ultimatum all the while acting as an accomplice himself to the war crime atrocity for financially supporting the murderers who without his guns and money would never have been able to kill those innocent kids. He shamelessly paraded their corpses out before the world sanctimoniously calling for airstrikes that he knew risked starting World War III with Russia and China lining up their warships off the Syrian coast in defense of their ally. Had the entire world not reacted so strongly in protest against Obama’s lust for war, combined with Putin’s last minute brokered deal with Assad to turn in his chemical weapons, we all might not even be alive right now.

February 2014 Violent Overthrow of Ukraine Government

On February 18th, 2014 the Ukraine revolution turned violent. Through Hillary Clinton’s State Department NGO’s funded in part by the likes of billionaire George Soros, the US invested $5 billion to incite staged protests over several months that culminated in the US-induced coup that led to another democratically elected leader of a sovereign nation ousted from office and forced to flee the capital for his life. The US had an army of CIA and military intelligence operatives along with hired agitators and snipers in the streets escalating the level of violence in Kiev that toppled the existing government. The US had been aggressively courting Ukraine to join the EU as yet another former Soviet state to turn against its previous master when President Viktor Yanukovych decided to accept Putin’s loan offer, at which point the US regime change operation covertly shifted into overdrive. Of course part of the prize would have been stealing the Crimean naval base for maritime control over the Black Sea that belonged to Russia. A telling moment came when Hillary’s right hand woman Victoria Nuland, pushing and shoving amongst the demonstrating Kiev crowd, was caught uttering her infamous “fuck the EU” statement, telling because that’s the neocon way – ever-at-the-ready to throw Europe or anyone else under the bus, anything to retain global hegemony.

March 2014 Crimea Chooses Annexation to Russia

Heading US Empire off at the pass, on March 1st Vladimir Putin strategically reclaimed his Russian naval base in Sevastopol. Just two weeks later in an emergency referendum election, 96% of Crimea’s residents voted for annexation with Russia. The West was stunned by this turn of events. Despite Crimea being part of Russia since 1783 until Ukrainian Soviet Premier Khrushchev gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954, the US-led international community began denouncing Putin’s move as an illegal land grab. Thus unleashed was the West’s relentless demonization of Putin who was simply acting in both his nation’s interest as well as the interests of ethnic Russians who refused to live under the corrupt US neo-Nazi installed Kiev government. The US has maintained a long historic policy of attempting toisolate Russia and China by turning neighboring countries into their enemies as US puppets. This longstanding strategy of course is a flagrant violation of international law – interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign nations, including the Ukrainian coup a month earlier. But because of US dominance, it gets away with it. Hypocrite Secretary of State John Kerry chastising Putin: It is not appropriate to invade a country and at the end of a barrel of a gun dictate what you are trying to achieve. That is not 21st century, G-8, major-nation behavior.

Tell that to Afghanistan and Iraq who had nothing to do with the neocons’ 9/11 inside attack on America. In response to the West’s hypocritical lambasting, Putin truthfully proclaimed: We have every reason to think that the notorious policy of confining Russia, pursued in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, continues today.

Putin’s reference to “today” has everything to do with the United States actively recruiting the entire former Iron Curtain of Eastern European nations as NATO members hostile to Russia punctuated with nuclear warhead missiles aimed directly at Moscow… the US induced Ukraine coup only adding insult to injury.

After watching events unfold in nearby Crimea the month before, in April ethic Russian separatists living in Eastern Ukraine followed suit, moving to become independent. On May 11th a referendum in the largest cities of Donetsk and Luhansk was held with over 90% voting for independence. Of course having just lost Crimea to Russia, the US and Kiev government were not about to concede losing any more control over existing Ukraine territory. All-out war was then declared against the rebels as Ukrainian military launched a major offensive into Donbass region during late spring into the summer. With full US-NATO support that soon included international mercenary volunteers, arms and supplies, the Kiev forces fired rockets, mortars and heavy artillery directly into residential neighborhoods inDonetsk and Luhansk, with at least 1130 dead in the Donbass region from April to late July. Meanwhile, Putin placed 20000 of his own troops along the Eastern Ukraine border. In their lust for war against nuclear powered Russia, US NATO Commander General Philip Breedlove, a Dr. Strangelove throwback, and his colleague commanding general of US Army forces in Europe Lt. General Ben Hodges took turns falsely accusing Russian troops of invading Ukraine.

After corrupt US puppet billionaire Petro Poroshenko was elected Ukrainian president on May 25th, by summer his advancing Kiev forces were using superior firepower to brutally engage in cultural andethnic cleansing. Amidst Poroshenko’s merciless slaughter of civilians he insisted were his own Ukrainian citizens, after reaching a peace agreement that he’d soon renege on, he had the audacity to utter these hollow words belying his murderous action: The highest value is human life, and we must do everything possible to stop the bloodshed and put an end to suffering.

July 17th, 2014 Flight MH17 Shot Down over Eastern Ukraine

On July 17th all evidence points to two Ukrainian Su-25 fighter jets trailing the Malaysian airliner for several minutes prior to its abrupt radar disappearance at 5:23PM Moscow time. The fighter jets were armed with both air-to-air missiles and a machine gun mount that likely brought the Flight MH17 down filled with 298 passengers headed from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur but ended up at a crash site outside Donetsk in Donbass region. However, it’s also been confirmed that the Ukrainian military moved three or four of its own BUK surface-to-air missiles in place inside the rebel held territory. Among the many smoking guns is the fact that as soon as the airliner left Polish airspace entering Ukraine, Kiev air traffic control ordered the ill-fated plane two hundred miles north from its original standard flight path into the eastern Ukrainian warzone. With confirmed records of the Ukraine traffic control diversion, the hovering Ukraine jet and the Ukraine missile ground systems, the Kiev government’s fingerprints were left all over the before, during and after MH17 crime scene, strongly indicating that the perpetrators causing the MH17 crash were all based out of Kiev. As always with false flags, right from the get-go to the present, Western media constantly protects the Empire evildoers spinning nonstop lies falsely casting judge, jury and executioner blame onto US designated enemies Putin and the Donbass rebels.

However, shrewd, fast thinking Putin released incontrovertible satellite and air traffic control evidenceproving that both the rebels and Russia had nothing to do with the preplanned disaster carried out by US-NATO-Ukraine, forcing the US false narrative to have to regroup and assume a lower profile in its bombastic propaganda war. Also the West’s claim that a Su-25 could not fly at the cruising airliner altitude of 33000 feet was debunked by simply using an oxygen mask in a pressurized cockpit. “The mountain of evidence” Secretary of State John Kerry had so smugly claimed right after the crash “proving” that Putin and his rebels committed the crime suddenly evaporated into thin air. Putin’s smoking gun proof also uncovered the sloppy US-Ukrainian after-the-fact cover-up that had falsified and changed traffic control data, weather and satellite imagery records in its failed desperation attempt to blame Moscow.

Once the lies of the West were exposed, of course accompanied by accomplice Western media blackout, a recoiling US retaliated by committing another obstruction of justice crime immediately securing the airliner’s black box into US-NATO puppet England’s hands thereby ensuring the truth never get revealed and making sure that the US-NATO puppet Dutch authorities conducting the prelim investigation still feebly hold the fabricated line implicating by false innuendo Russian involvement.

Eventually the investigation has expanded to include a four nation commission. But the Dutch helped install the current illegitimate Ukraine government that’s been added to the investigative team and given veto power over what ends up released to the public. Major conflict of interest there that quashes any chance of the truth coming out. Other Western puppets on the commission are Australia and Belgium. As an afterthought, Malaysia’s been invited as the nation with both the downed airliner and aside from the Dutch the most dead. However, even the pilot’s body remains off limits to Malaysian inspectors as well as the pilot’s own family. Plus, the pilot’s seat still left in the field where the plane hit the ground has been discovered with very noticeable gunshot holes from a machine gun that would easily have been fired from one of the Su-25’s, ruling out the possibility that the plane was shot down by a surface-to-air BUK missile fired from the ground. A recovered piece of the Boeing 777‘s fuselagealso was riddled with gunshot holes. All guilty roads lead to a Ukrainian Air Force jets taking MH17 down with a massive cover-up from the West. The strategy of the whitewashing commission is to delay its “conclusive” findings due to its obvious need to hide the plain-to-see truth of another cover-up of yet another Western false flag.

2014-15 Expansion of War in Ukraine

At the time that flight MH17 went down too many co-occurring events beyond mere coincidence further point to the West’s criminal guilt. It was reported that Kiev troops were losing their resolve fighting an unpopular war on the eastern front and were deserting in large numbers, forcing Poroshenko into sending conscripted underage boys to the frontline quagmire. To turn the world against Putin and thus provide the pretext of US-NATO entering the Ukraine war, a false flag blaming Russia for murdering near 300 innocent people onboard MH17 was conceived to surely do the dirty trick. What US-NATO failed to consider is the truth exposing them as lying murderers on the wrong side of history.

Both the airliner crash and a major Ukrainian military offensive had been planned months in advance, with the air disaster scheduled on July 17th and Kiev’s aggressive war campaign in Eastern Ukraine launched the very next day on July 18th. The US also just happened to be conducting two military live drills in Ukraine right up to the time of the false flag.

Where have we heard that before?

Operation Sea Breeze is an annual land, air and sea exercise conducting electronic warfare that involves monitoring passenger aircraft in the region and data collection from a spy satellite that happened to be sighted over the Donetsk area at the time of the crash. The other military exercise,Rapid Trident 2014, was a joint NATO-US-Ukraine sponsored operation to enhance cooperation between land forces. Overwhelming evidence proves that the taking down of the civilian airliner was yet another false flag operation for which the US-NATO are notoriously guilty. Western history is a history made of false flags.

Thus by US-NATO design, throughout the second half of 2014 despite several ceasefire agreements in Ukraine, emboldened by US Empire prodding to make its push east to crush the rebellion, Kiev wouldrepeatedly violate the truces to resume its carnage. A negotiated September peace treaty did little to stop the bloodshed. Fighting for both their lives and for their freedom, the rebels managed to launch a counteroffensive trapping 2500 Ukrainian soldiers under siege in a key link city between rebel strongholds Donetsk and Luhansk, a major defeat for US-NATO-Kiev. Separatists claimed 3000 deadfrom the Ukrainian Army while Kiev claimed the farcical low number of just 22 KIA’s. In response to seeing his team floundering, Obama desperately began deploying US-NATO advisors to the warfront as well as proposed shipments of heavy arms to Ukraine for the first time. Ukraine military launched another major campaign in January 2015 ignoring another ceasefire.

Meanwhile fearing the high risk volatility of having to potentially fight another world war in their own backyard and hurt more than Russia with its winter natural gas supply cutoff by US-led negative sanctions against Putin, in February 2015 Germany and France began mediating peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Minsk. Obama’s timing in wanting to raise the ante sending heavy arms and ammo along with US combat troops, CIA and FBI operatives was clearly intended to sabotage the Minsk negotiations. While Europe sought peace through conflict resolution, the Washington warmongers were busily plotting preemptive nuclear war strikes against Russia and deploying a rapid buildup of US military presence joining NATO forces amassing along the Russian border in Eastern Europe. Over recent months US-NATO troops have conducted a series of enormous, unprecedentedjoint military exercises as overt preparation for war against Russia.

While the US sends more armored tanks and troops to Europe integrating with NATO as they densely align along Russia’s border and continuing to deploy scheduled missile installments on Russia’s doorstep, Putin is forced to respond in kind. As the arms race intensifies, so does their eventual use. With nothing but lies and propaganda pumped out 24/7 by mainstream media demonizing Putin for the last two years, Western globalists have used their puppet Obama to aggressively exploit Ukraine along with Syria as the two primed hotspot startups for World War III.

June 8th, 2014 ISIS Invasion of Iraq Taking Mosul

Despite possessing the technological means to monitor the whereabouts of virtually every human alive on this planet, much less an invading army moving from one country to another, Obama and hisPentagon pretended not to notice the miles long caravan of freshly US-armed Islamic State terrorists driving freshly US-gifted brand new Toyota trucks kicking up desert sand from Syria to Iraq. And then the Iraqi security forces that alleged war hero General David Petraeus worked so long and hard training the previous decade suddenly abandoned their positions surrendering their second largest city Mosul to ISIS. The June 2014 Islamic State incursion into Iraq read like an unbelievable B movie script. But we’re supposed to be convinced that ISIS just suddenly sprang out of nowhere to overnight become the biggest, baddest monsters alive, at least that’s how Obama and his puppet masters presented their half-assed staging of Middle Eastern theater featuring their bumbling US war operations in Syria and Iraq.

Forget that Obama was explicitly warned that this particular Islamic jihadist group entertained such grand ambitions to establish a massive Islamic caliphate throughout the Middle East, North Africa and beyond. Because Obama chose these terrorists over his former favorite proxy mercenary ally al Qaeda, the US was bankrolling a brand new brand of terrorism over all the others, confident that these ones would finally take down Assad.

So way back in 2012 before ISIS even had its name, per Defense Intelligence Agency documents and a former DIA commander, our treasonous commander-in-chief favored these guys to keep the endless war on terror going and Bush-Cheney’s regime change operation still alive. Just as Osama and his al Qaeda were used as the patsies blamed for 9/11 that the neocons with help from their Israeli-Saudi friends pulled off, now it was ISIS’ turn to play the US manufactured heavy (along with Putin of course) while working closely with CIA to stage the beheading of the week theater for Western shock and awe YouTube entertainment. Cutting the throats of Western journalists and Middle Eastern Christians graphically made Islamic State legendary for their brand of evil in the minds of a horrified world. The August 19th beheading of James Foley garnered MSM top billing ratings for weeks.

As if the violent chaos and destruction in Ukraine and Syria/Iraq weren’t bloody enough all summer long last year, a third spectacle of horror and tragedy was brought to you by our best buds the apartheid butchers from Israel, the same ally US taxpayers are forced to give $3.7 billion of their hard earned dollars each year as Israel’s genocidal military aid. Using the excuse that three Jewish teenage boys were murdered by Palestinians, a likely false flag in and of itself, for two straight months Israel sought revenge by firing rockets daily into residential Palestinian neighborhoods including schools and hospitals in another genocidal rash of Gaza ethnic cleansing. During the summer bloodbath in 2014, Israel murdered over 2200 Palestinians, many of whom were children and women. And these days attacks on Palestinian civilians appear to be once again flaring up.

The United States has never ceased being a willing accomplice to Israel’s state sponsored terrorismthat amounts to crimes against humanity. After all, for decades it’s the brutal US partner that’s been committing terrorist atrocities throughout the Middle East with impunity protection from the US world bully Empire. Likewise, the US has also perpetrated decades of terrorism on behalf and behest of Tel Aviv, fighting long costly proxy wars against Muslim nations posing no threat whatsoever to US national security. Allowing the nation Israel to defiantly refuse to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty then proceed to willfully develop an enormous nuclear stockpile, even handing over nuclear secrets knowing Israel stole American secrets, covering up Israel’s 1967 massacre of 34 US Navy sailors onboard theUSS Liberty along with its role in 9/11, allowing Israel’s nuclear blackmail with its Sampson Optionthreatening to nuke its allies should they somehow fail to adequately defend the Jewish state – all of these are flagrant violations of international law. Yet the DC neocons – half of whom hold dual citizenship – along with the bribed bought and sold Congress, both exercise their true loyalties to Israel while treasonously failing to uphold the US Constitution, much less protect and defend American citizens from foreign and domestic enemies.

August 9th, 2014 Ferguson Riots

The day after Ebola’s declared a global threat after infecting so many black people in Africa, within 24 hours later the militarized US police state declares war against black people in America with theFerguson riots. The US federal government has a long history of victimizing people with darker-skinned complexion, be it in the US as well as around the globe. Using bio-warfare and race war as a means of increasing control over targeted populations is not a stretch of the imagination, especially when considering the facts.

The Tuskegee experiment cold-bloodedly infected poor American black males with lethal untreated syphilis for forty years spread to wives and children – all in the name of “science.” Most states in America passed eugenics laws legalizing a widespread half-century practice up till 1974 of compulsory sterilization of mostly poor African American and Native American women without obtaining either victims’ consent or knowledge.

Summer 2015 Jade Helm Operation

The massive three-month Jade Helm military operation that took place in nine states across Southern America this last summer was a psyops operation to learn about the so called domestic enemy that happens to be law abiding citizens like you and me. The goal was to determine the level of citizen resistance in advance of the next major false flag crisis when martial law goes into effect. It was another beta test dry run for Americans to get used to soldiers operating on US soil in their streets and neighborhoods rather than restricted to US military reservations or foreign deployment.

The Posse Comitatus law prohibiting US military use in civil matters became permanently suspended when the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was passed allowing US military to break into your home in the middle of the night, arrest you without a warrant or charge, and imprison you without legal rights, without a trial for an indefinite period of time. Increasingly, average Americans are being viewed by both law enforcement and the feds as the most threatening enemy, even more so than ISIS. Whenveterans, constitutionalists, dissident-activists, gun owners, Christians, tea party members are all targeted on a growing watch list deemed as domestic terrorists, belligerents and enemies of the state, and especially when such federal agencies like the EPA, FDA, IRS, postal service, fish and wildlife department and the Social Security Administration have all been buying up billions of rounds of hollow point bullets. If that’s not declaring war on US citizens, I don’t know what is.

Whether violations of Fourth Amendment invasive surveillance/search and seizure/right to privacy laws, First Amendment peaceful assembly free speech laws, Second Amendment private gun ownership laws, Sixth Amendment due process laws, civil liberties in a totalitarian police state are no longer upheld or enforceable. Ever since 9/11 an assault on citizens has been launched throughout the Western world in the misnomer name of national security where tyrannical public servants have illegally usurped and obliterated cherished freedoms. Western governments have resorted to staging dozens of false flag “terrorist” incidents to pass hundreds of draconian antiterrorism laws worldwide in order to keep the masses living in both paranoid fear and under increasingly oppressive surveillance and control. From 9/11 to 7/7 London to 3/11 Spain to the two Paris attacks this year, the international intelligence community like the CIA, Mossad and MI5 have worked hand-in-hand with Muslim jihadist terrorists.

This month’s second attack in Paris in less than a year brought martial law to France that’s been extended for at least the next three months. This latest terrorist event killing 130 innocent people and injuring over 350 more also reinvigorated the ruling elite/US Empire/West’s global war of terror, not so much to join Putin in actually destroying ISIS terrorists but to stop Putin from ending their endlessly long “war on terror.” You see, they cannot continue wreaking havoc around the world, destabilizing and impoverishing nations (including both developing and developed countries) without their secret symbiotic allies the terrorists. After all, the terrorists-r-us! It’s been proven beyond any doubt they are the twisted creation of Western elites, funded, trained, armed, supplied and protected by US Empire, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Europe, NATO and Arab Gulf States like Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Jordan.

Late August 2015 to Present Mass Migration Refugee Crisis

Under the benign catch-all term “multiculturalism,” meant to conjure up the warm and fuzzy of universal tolerance embracing the richness of human diversity, arriving late this summer in Europe and continuing to spin out of control across the continent comes the globalist Trojan horse of the mass migration crisis. Just as the wars in the Middle East and North Africa using the antagonists US Empire to do its dirty bidding and ISIS to spread terror are all by globalist design, so too is this growing crisis placing a top heavy burden on European nations to absorb the massive, unending waves of new immigrants whose backgrounds are of such disparate ethnicity, language, culture and religion from Europe’s majority host populations. The accomplished mission of turning nations like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan that resisted US global hegemony into war ravaged failed states, murdering millions of innocents and displacing eleven million mostly Muslims from Syria alone, carries a part two agenda to destabilize and ultimately destroy the cultural fabric and identity of largely Caucasian inhabited developed nations in Europe and North America. The flooding of mass migration refugees quickly overloads host nations and potentially creates civil unrest

So what if it also increases unemployment and creates an enormous burden on the social human service systems that will soon reach critical mass? To the elite it delivers more money, more power and more control over the suffering masses. Ultimately it permanently changes the national and cultural identity of the developed world, rapidly homogenizing and lowering the standard of living to be of equal parity with the Third World. The elite’s goal ultimately is to create such dire uniform conditions across all continents by incrementally eliminating the distinction between First and Third Worlds.

October 5th, 2015 TPP Trade Deal Reached

Of course in addition to the chaos, strife and instability caused by the migration crisis comes the elitist plan to remove the sovereign barriers that independent nations like the United States pose toward facilitating a one world government. When the dozen trade ministers representing the twelve nation members of the Tran Pacific Partnership signed off on the finalized agreement in October, the globalists moved one giant step closer to their one world government exercising tyrannical control over the human terrain. Within the next several months the twelve national governments will need to ratify TPP to make it law of the 12 nation land that generates 40% of the world’s economy. If and when this happens, there will no longer be a United States of America. The TTIP merges North America with Europe and serves the same sinister purpose promoting the globalized New World Order. There will only be corporatization of virtually the entire planet. Corporate lawyers will dictate how we are governed as their laws will supersede all national US laws.

At the UN General Assembly Putin publicly outed to the world Obama’s façade of supposedly “hunting down” the ISIS terrorists since late August 2014. Despite leading an allied coalition alleged to have dropped over 16,000 airstrikes during the first year alone in its fake war against ISIS, Obama has little to show for himself. And the reason is all too obvious. Obama and the Pentagon’s actual mission in both Iraq and Syria has been to protect the Frankenstein monster that they’ve created.

Putin’s intelligence sources gathered the lowdown and confronted Obama on September 28th when he exposed the West’s pretend game to coddle and protect terrorists instead of killing them. Because Putin was all too aware that the United States was in fact promoting the spread of terrorism far beyond the Middle East and North Africa, including north Caucasus into Russia and unwilling to sit by and risk losing his ally Assad replaced by another corrupt weak US puppet like every other destroyed nation on America’s kill list, Putin announced that at Assad’s request, Russia is sending troops, naval ships and launching airstrikes against ISIS.

Putin’s bold stand was received resoundingly well by virtually the entire world, that is except Obama and his terrorist allies like ISIS, Turkey, Israel. Vladimir Putin has outmaneuvered and outsmarted his US counterparts Clinton, Bush and Obama put together in his long run in power. Even US-NATO puppet nations like Germany’s Angela Merkel applauded Putin’s resolve as welcome relief. After all, Europe is also being victimized indirectly by US Empire’s overly aggressive need for unipolar hegemony, overrun by a massive refugee problem caused by US Empire wars, suffering without Russian oil and natural gas due to US sanctions against Putin, uneasy over the US belligerence destabilizing Ukraine as part of Empire’s apparent rush to global war that would be fought in Europe’s backyard, and tired of being bullied as longtime US puppets, more than they could publicly let on, European leaders were embracing Putin’s decisive rise as a real world leader versus the deceptive paper tiger.

October 1st, 2015 to Present: Putin’s War against Islamic State Terrorists

Throughout October and November Putin has been conducting a massive air campaign along with using heavy artillery, armored vehicles and supplying intensive ground support for the Syrian Arab Army, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters to destroy ISIS in Syria. After two months fighting the tide has decisively turned against Obama and his West’s terrorist allies. In November the Putin coalition overtook a military airbase in northern Syria that the terrorists were holding under siege the last two years, liberating 250 grateful, relieved Syrian soldiers. Putin’s going after the terrorists’ bread and butter, the black market oil stolen from hijacked oil refineries in Syria and Iraq. In recent weeks Russian bombers have been destroying truck convoys of oil tankers miles long, hitting ISIS where it hurts most, money to fund its madness.

The neocon Obama administration is having a tizzy watching everything they’ve been building up and secretly supporting be mowed down by a true antiterrorist force. Kerry was anxious to make a deal with his Russian counterpart Sergie Lavrov in Vienna last month to spare losing ISIS in exchange for the West accepting Assad’s stay in power. Putin embarrassed a number of G-20 leaders at the mid-November meeting in Antalya, Turkey by revealing that Putin is well aware of the 40 nations that have been financially supporting the Islamic State, alluding to some being present in the room, and that he intends to hold every last one accountable. Of course as always, not one Western media outletbothered to carry that piece of rather significant news.

October 27th, 2015 US Navy Patrol-by Incident in South China Sea

For several years now the US has purposely soured its relations with its closest rivals Russia and China, unilaterally resurrecting the cold war again. Tensions between America and China neared the breaking point on October 27th when the naval destroyer the USS Lassen sailed within 12 nautical miles of a couple of manmade islands China has claimed as its own in the Spratley Islands located in the South China Sea. Obama defied China’s warnings insisting that because the islands are artificially made, regular maritime rules don’t apply. The childish gesture is reminiscent of playground behavior with such defiant taunting as “you can’t make me!” The only problem is such a provocative act of aggression by Obama when conflict is boiling over is downright reckless and stupid.

October 30th, 2015Russian Airliner Brought Down over Sinai Desert

Russian investigators determined that the most likely cause of the plane going down killing all 224 passengers and crew was caused by a homemade bomb equivalent to one kg of TNT breaking the airliner apart in midair. Putin vows to hunt the perpetrators down and punish them. The Islamic State immediately took credit for it and since they had both probable access as well as motive, in all likelihood, the terrorists committed the heinous crime as revenge against Putin for going after them in Syria with a vengeance they’ve never seen before.

Despite the feeble dismissal from the Egyptian government not wanting to lose tourism dollars over its breach in security, the consensus from multiple intelligence sources is that ISIS did it. Now whether the Islamic State operated alone outside the probable Egyptian airport accomplices that enabled access to the plane for terrorists to plant the bomb remains to be seen. Though US Empire was steeped in the downing of MH17, any US culpability in this air disaster at this still early phase of investigation is far more questionable. Nonetheless, with the proven recklessness of Washington policymakers displayed earlier that week in the South China Sea, and then a NATO member shooting down a Russian warplane last week, anything is possible.

November 7th, 2015 Missile Launch over LA Harbor

A week and a half after the South China Sea fiasco and a week following the Russian airliner disaster, the US was at it again with more provocative warmongering in a strange incident involving an unarmed missile launched from a US submarine off the Pacific coast of Southern California. It brightly lit up the Saturday night sky seen by thousands of surprised witnesses from hundreds of miles around wondering what they were observing. Speculation went wild on the internet with claims that it was a UFO. Several hours earlier just a few miles away at the neocon holy ground of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, US Secretary Ash Carter delivered a speech that in so many words bashed and threatened Putin accusing him of everything the US Empire is actually guilty of. Oddly enough, Carter downplayed the danger that ISIS poses (of course as his secret ally and partner-in-crime, why would he view terrorists as a threat?).

Less than a week after Carter’s public tirade, Paris was struck by more Islamic State terrorists who had been under surveillance for months in advance with all kinds of Intel reports warning of preeminent attacks specifying a concert venue as their target. If Western intelligence didn’t actually coordinate the attacks, it was complicit in allowing them to happen. Bottom line, the diabolical elite used 130 massacred lives in France to jump start the West’s war against Assad and Putin in Syria after Putin had stolen their thunder by completely upending the US-NATO agenda.

Just two weeks after Carter’s warmonger speech punctuated by the missile warning came what looks like the premeditated shoot down of a Russian jet by NATO member Turkey. To further complicate the already uneven, jagged Syrian-Turkish borderline, in June 2012 Turkey unilaterally altered the airspacemoving it five miles south into Syrian territory. Back in early October there was an incident where apparently a Russian Su-24 fighter-bomber may have inadvertently skirted into Turkish airspace, especially if it was this artificial airspace that Turkey illegally grabbed. Pissed over Putin’s wrecking their agenda, the West self-righteously made a big to-do about it, thus setting the stage for yet more unavoidable confrontation.

So in all likelihood the United States and Turkey had already conspired to do their dirty deed and looking for an excuse to both literally and figuratively clip Russia’s wings, having their terrorist darlings suddenly losing their war against Assad and running for cover back into Turkey, 3000 big bad jihadists the first week alone. Putin had publicly humiliated ISIS on the run as well as both Turkish tyrant Erdogan and dictator Obama at both the UN and again at the G-20 conference in Turkey just a week earlier, outing the fact that both Erdogan and Obama among others were still actively funding and supporting the Islamic State terrorists. From Obama and Erdogan’s point of view, Putin had defiantly not been heeding his warnings – from Carter’s missile meltdown to the Russian airliner takedown over Sinai. So US-NATO had made the decision once that alleged Russian airspace violation occurred back in early October to not hesitate the next time in shooting down a Russian plane daring to come even close to Turkish airspace. The crash site was five miles from the border and the downed plane at the moment the Turkish air to air missile hit was estimated to be about a mile inside the Syrian border. So on November 24th, Turkey was waiting in ambush to strike, taking full advantage of that next opportunity as the US-NATO-Turkey crime cabal struck its unsuspecting prey, and the villains were celebrating and giving thanks two days earlier than Thanksgiving after Turkey blindsided that Russian jet and its hapless pilot.

Both the Russian pilot and his co-pilot navigator exited the hit aircraft moments before it went down. But while they were parachuting to the ground, the pilot was shot and killed by hostile local ground forces. This is a war crime. Turkish authorities claim that the two Russian bombers that together had violated airspace were targeting ethnic Turks known as Turkmen who lived in mountainous villages inside Syria. Putin stated that the Russian planes were seeking militia forces from the north Caucasus that had joined the anti-Assad coalition. The navigator was able to make it to safety reaching the friendly forces of the Syrian army. However, a Russian rescue helicopter that had been dispatched was also fired upon and crashed killing one Russian marine. The weapon used by rebel forces to shoot the helicopter down was an American made anti-tank TOW missile launcher.

Of course not surprisingly, Turkish accounts of what transpired were very different from the surviving navigator and Russia’s side of the story. The Turks claim that they repeatedly warned the two Russian jets to move out of their airspace adding that no response came from the Russians. The navigator maintains that no warning was ever given. Russia also insists that at no time did the Russian aircraft violate Turkish airspace, each nation releasing a map of the projected radar flightpath of the Russian jet. The Russian Ministry of Defense furnished video evidence however corroborating the Russian contention that the Su-24 bomber never entered Turkish airspace. The Turks also stated that the Russian warplane had moved through its airspace for a full 17 seconds.

Two Belgian physicists have calculated that that claim is physically impossible based on even the Turks’ projected flightpath. Assuming the Russian plane had entered Turkish territory, their scientifically arrived at conclusion based on the jet’s flight speed was that the plane could only have been inside Turkish airspace for all of about 5 seconds. Additionally, retired US Air Force Lt. General Tom McInerney drawing from years of his own ample experience stated emphatically on Fox News that the US-made Turkish Air Force F-16’s shoot down had to have been “preplanned” based on the short time span of the alleged violation.

Furthermore, Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu the next day went on public record stating that he personally gave the final order to shoot down the Russian plane. No doubt based on how rapid the unfolding chain of events in the air were that day, Davutoglu’s assertion seems extremely unlikely. Whereas the Turkish account has a number of discrepancies, the Russian version of events appears to hold up under closer scrutiny and analysis far more accurately than does Turkey’s.

The first thing Turkey did afterwards was notify NATO following the incident, seeking advisement and support from US-NATO allies. The Turkish official played an alleged recording of the Turks supposedly warning the Russians repeatedly for the five minutes that’s alleged to have drawn no response. Loyal to the Turks’ story to the end – however false, both Obama and American NATO rep Col. Steve Warren maintained Turkey’s right to defend its own space. The Obama administration is used to lying and then even when the lie has been exposed, the standard response is to live the lie right to the end in true psychopathic form. Available data proves that the Turkish assertion of repeated warnings for five minutes is a boldface lie. Both the Turkish and Russian projected flightpaths of the downed Russian jet a full five minutes before it was hit would have placed the aircraft flying in the opposite direction away from the border, so the alleged warnings that Turkey claims are preposterous since the Russian plane five minutes prior to missile impact would have been moving in a direction away from the border. The only realistic conclusion is that the Turkish F-16 that shot the Russian plane down had to have already been in the air and waiting to pounce, confirming the coldblooded, premeditated nature of the crime.

Four days prior to the shoot down the Turkish foreign minister met with the Russian ambassador and delivered the ultimatum that unless the Russians suspend all operations near the border inside Syria, bombing what Turkey calls local “civilian Turkmen villages,” the foreign minister warned the ambassador “there might be serious consequences.”

As a more viable anti-Assad force than the Turkmen, the al Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front, also operates in that same northern Syria area. It’s been a persistent military presence since 2012 and has been instrumental in maintaining the vital supply line open from Turkey into Syria. But with the strengthened air support Russia’s been able to provide for two months, the Russian coalition has made some notable progress threatening to sever the all-important Islamic State supply line. Turkey is so invested in its war against Assad that it was unwilling to concede any more setbacks or defeat. Thus, with full US-NATO support, Turkey took an aggressive threatening position to initiate hostile action that now takes the conflict to a whole new critically dangerous level. Obviously Putin is not about to suddenly back down but it appears with Obama standing by Erdogan on however shaky the moral ground, neither is Turkey willing to alter its course. Though all parties have paid lip service to leaving diplomatic channels open for resolving future conflict, it’s highly doubtful that any participant will be willing to change their position and another violent violent conflagration appears inevitable.

A whole other dimension is precariously at play here as well – millions of dollars in lost revenue for ISIS are at stake each day that Putin’s cruise missiles are destroying the Islamic States’s stolen oil shipments. The all too conspicuous added wrinkle is that the bulk of the illegal ISIS oil is transported in daily tanker truck caravans directly to Turkey. In recent weeks Putin has targeted these convoys and been blowing them up prior to their reaching their destination inside Turkey for sale. And who owns the Turkish oil company that’s been buying the terrorist oil in bulk volume on a daily basis also making a killing? None other than Turkish president Erdogan’s son as chief buyer of black market crude petroleum. Additionally, Erdogan himself is reported to be an investor in the family’s illicit business. And with Putin’s interventions, the Erdogans are also losing millions each day. This added piece makes the Turkish retaliation and willingness to escalate the war against Putin at grave risk and cost both more plausible and personal despite Erdogan’s denial and compromised involvement in an unlawful business violating international law. While Erdogan has the audacity to say he’ll resign if proof cab be presented confirming that he buys oil from terrorists. Putin counters in Paris at the Climate Conference with: we have recently received additional reports that confirm that [stolen] oil from ISIL-controlled territories is delivered to the territory of Turkey on an industrial scale.

The plot thickens and if the world is fortunate, Erdogan will be pressured to resign as soon as Putin delivers the goods on the Turkish leader’s unsavory family business. Turkey has been as guilty a party as any including Obama for the exponential rise and success of the Islamic State terrorists. As a NATO lackey, it takes its orders from the US. That’s why the plane going down was a payback by both Turkey and US Empire. Turkey has been busily fueling the rich pockets of the biggest terrorist group on the planet, provided training camps for ISIS, offered a safe zone and staging area for terrorists and a constant flowing supply line from Turkey extending right to the Syrian battlefronts that’s absolutely essential for the terrorists’ survival. And just before Putin’s interventions in Syria, with the greenlight from Obama, Turkey was planning to enter the war sending its own military contingent into Syria to join the anti-Assad fray, even working out a covert deal with Obama to establish a no fly zone over northern Syria, thus securing a perfect haven inside northern Syria for the terrorists to maintain the strategic luxury of a large safe zone base of operations compliments of Erdogan and Obama.

Putin’s decisive move to take charge in Syria completely shattered the US-NATO agenda from materializing and the foiled evil ones are thoroughly pissed off to no end. Plus as the key NATO member supplying airbases for Empire’s strategic MENA operations, Erdogan’s Turkey has received full support and carte blanche protection from the powerful NATO killing force, prompting Erdogan’s personal vendetta against Putin to be that much more brazen and risky. Had Erdogan not had the luxury of hiding behind Empire’s shadow, Putin would have already dropped bombs over Ankara.Obama himself has peevishly gone on record recently defending Erdogan’s aggression, insisting that, “Turkey, like every other country, has a right to defend itself,” protect its sovereign territory and strategic airspace” … just like Assad as a sovereign leader in a sovereign nation posing no threat to America? The hypocrisy never ends. Despite Turkey shooting itself in the economic foot, losing even more billions worth from lost Russian tourism, the dead south stream pipeline deal and the enormous trade it no longer shares with Russia, Putin has pulled the plug on all business transactions, calling Erdogan’s act of war, “a stab in the back.”

Aggression from US-NATO-Turkey has forced Putin to now deploy Russia’s most modern S-400 air defense missile system in Syria to protect the Russian airbase in Latakia. The system can fire at targets up to 248 miles away which covers all of Syria and beyond. Nearby Russian warships are poised off the Syrian coast and warplanes with air-to-air missiles are now providing beefed up air and ground cover for its coalition force operations. Aside from imposing retroactive economic sanctions on Turkey, Putin may be motivated to begin shooting back, taking down Turkish planes. Meanwhile, Erdogan continues to be combative, claiming that Turkey will respond if Russia targets its planesviolating Syrian airspace. First the airliner a month ago with 224 Russians onboard dead, then a week ago a warplane and helicopter are shot down with two dead Russian soldiers.

The very latest story just now breaking reports that Turkey may be exercising its power to establish a blockade to prevent Putin’s naval vessels from accessing the Mediterranean Sea, in effect blocking and restricting his Black Sea fleet from leaving its immediate port and adjacent waters. An old maritime treaty document from 1936 authorizes Turkey when at war to be able to exercise the right to restrict passage of enemy ships. At this point it’s unclear what Erdogan’s intentions are. But if in fact he invokes that war power, it would no doubt be taken by Putin as a clear act of war. Currently on each side of both the Bosporus Straits to the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas and the Dardanelles Straits to the Black Sea where Russia’s Sevastopol naval port is located, there are Russian ships lined up waiting for clearance.

The implications of an enforced blockade could be enormous as if war breaks out between Russia and Turkey, as a NATO member the US and other European members would be expected to also come to Turkey’s defense. However, given the fact that Turkey has been the aggressor in shooting down the Russian Su-24 last week, and then this second act of clear provocation, reasonable assessment would judge that Turkey is behaving both erratically and aggressively on the wrong side of history.

This latest flare-up between Putin and the West has only magnified the conflict and tension stretching to the limit. Last week’s violence may well have opened the Pandora’s Box. This week’s may be opening the floodgate.

“We” Don’t Really Know What’s Happening

“If you don’t read a newspaper every day, you are uninformed. If you do, you are misinformed.” – Mark Twain

“Wars start because diplomats lie to reporters, then believe what they read in the newspaper.” – Unknown

We Don’t Really Know What’s Happening… And, believe it or not, this is rather good news. I’ll explain.

We all like to know what’s happening in the world, and for good reason… understanding our surroundings is essential to survival. We instinctively seek information… we need information. There is, however, a problem that we face:

No matter how much “news” you consume, you won’t really know what’s going on in the world.

We can’t know, because ‘the news’ is half illusion, provided by government-dependent corporations that are paid to keep you watching and to keep you joined to the status quo.

Granted, they are quite good at providing pictures from disaster areas, but when it comes to explaining why the disaster happened, they mislead almost every time. Yes, some truth makes its way through the news machine, but most of it is wrapped in layers of manipulation. If, for example, you watch the news feeds all day, you’ll find a good deal of truth, but you’ll find it amongst a pile of half-truths. Do you really have enough time to analyze them all?

One Piece of Truth

The truth about public reporting comes out from time to time, but usually well after the fact. So, here’s one piece of truth that’s worth remembering:

For those who don’t recall the 1970s, Daniel Ellsberg was a man who worked as an analyst at the RAND Corp., moved from there to the Pentagon, spent two years in Vietnam working for the State Department, and then went back to RAND. He is the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971. These were the documents that revealed that three US presidential administrations had been plainly, knowingly, and openly lying to the public.

Here’s what Ellsberg thought the New York Times was good for:

… to see what the rubes and the yokels are thinking about and what they think is going on and what they think the policy is….

Later, in 1998, he said this in an interview:

The public is lied to every day by the president, by his spokespeople, by his officers. If you can’t handle the thought that the president lies to the public for all kinds of reasons, you couldn’t stay in the government at that level….

And here’s what Michael Deaver, a top aide to President Ronald Reagan, said about the press:

The media I’ve had a lot to do with is lazy. We fed them and they ate it every day.

That’s the truth about news, my friends. The newspapers are where the yokels get informed, presidents flatly lie, and legislatures are massively corrupt. The TV stations recycle opinions from the leading newspapers. And Internet news sites primarily recycle TV and newspaper stories.

Yes, some truth does slide through, but it looks almost the same as the other stuff. The only places we get anything close to refined truth is on a few Internet sites… and many of them have a particular axe to grind.

And the Internet news sites that really dig through the pile are in jeopardy. The Internet is being funneled into Google, Facebook, and a few other friends of the state. If things continue as they’ve been going, the independents will be cut off soon enough, under the guise of copyright or some such.

Sad to say, we shouldn’t accept the news as true. In my personal experience, I’ve been close enough to a few news stories to know the truth, and the networks got it wrong every time.

Beginning in 1948, a CIA agent named Frank Wisner started gathering journalists and broadcasters… and started using them to ‘inform’ the public. The operation soon got so elaborate that other agents called it “Wisner’s Wurlitzer.” (Wurlitzer being the brand of organ that was played in churches.) In other words, Wisner played the media like a musical instrument.

While the real situation is more complex than this short description, rest assured that every major news organization in every major country is manipulated by intelligence groups. Where do you think they get all those “unnamed sources”?

If you were an intel operator, wouldn’t you do precisely that? You’d be considered derelict not to. So, you can rely upon this fact. And see here for a minor example.

And So…

I could continue listing facts, but there’s no real point. The crucial thing is to accept the truth:

The news is worked over before it reaches us.

We do know some facts, of course, and a generation from now we may learn nearly the whole truth about some of these events, but only if we wait and then go out of our way to find it.

The good news in all of this comes when we accept the facts and stop running our brains on bad information. Yes, it would be nice to know what’s really going on, but we don’t, and there isn’t much we can do about it. So, it’s time to stop treating the news seriously.

So long as the guv-megacorp-intel structure remains, it will enforce our ignorance. That’s what such organizations do, by their very nature. To expect differently is like expecting a dog to sprout wings and fly.

But once we accept that fact, we stop being spun around by the talking heads and their handlers.

After that, we can find truth in books and in other serious publications.
